Today's flowers were donated in memory of Martin Sterling, who would have turned 73 last Thursday. Marty was Marguerite's husband for nearly 50 years. Marguerite and her family still strongly feel his presence in the many things that remind them of him, especially the music he loved, the smell of fresh cut grass this spring, and the joy of his beloved pack of "grand dogs." God, grant Marty eternal rest in your loving presence.
